Need to handle an object when don't exist, so it will not post error in log.

[kaiiii]

I am trying to handle a object that mostly time doesn't exist in application, it giving me error in test log but my execution is continue.

"Unable to find the object TextNode(0). See Details for additional information." error is displaying in test log.

Due to this getting test case result as failure. (While whole journey has been completed.)

Please check the below code that i am using and tell me how can i handle it.

Set Sold = page.Section(2).Panel(0).Panel(1).Panel("shopLastItem").Panel(0).Section(0).Panel(1).Panel(0).Panel(0).TextNode(0)

If (Sold.Exists = True) Then

   'Some kind of logic here

End IF

"Exists" is a property of the object.  So, you can't check a property of an object if the object itself does not exist. So, you need to use a slightly different method.  Try this

Set Sold = page.Section(2).Panel(0).Panel(1).Panel("shopLastItem").Panel(0).Section(0).Panel(1).Panel(0).Panel(0).FindChild('ObjectType','TextNode')

If (Sold.Exists = True) Then

   'Some kind of logic here

End IF

The suggestion from Robert Martin is good. Only thing I would metion is that the if statement should use a comparison operator with doble == instead of = which is normally an assignment statement.

Hi,

JScript is not the only language that exists 🙂

VBScript is used in this thread.
